I've found that you don't need to mess around with 'sleep' command stuff. If
you're using an SSH2 client/server (like OpenSSH) you can get the client to
set up the forwarding without logging in for a command session. This is how
I do it:
ssh -2 -l username -N -L 12345:server.foo.com:3306 server.foo.com
